Used to work for Dixons group, they would do everything to avoid a refund if the product was over 6 months old.They would have you getting engineers reports and in all honesty can never remember them fully refunding a laptop out of warrenty the most they did was offer some vouchers towards a replacement.From memory to get a refund you had to prove it was faulty when sold.Good luck anyway.

Would not have expected that either. Wastes loads of time when that happens. Hope that it works out for you.

sounds like aldi are struggling to get customers - the BIG stores are taking all the punters. People feel more safe in BIG stores.

Aldi ramps up home delivery service with expansion of Deliveroo trial Discount supermarket brand Aldi UK had announced the expansion of a home delivery trial to almost 130 stores across the country.

The UK arm of the German supermarket business has confirmed that its ongoing trial with delivery firm Deliveroo is set to be expanded as the demand for home delivery of groceries continues to grow.

Aldi UK first started offering online food parcels to support self-isolating and vulnerable customers during the COVID-19 pandemic in April, and a month later began a delivery trial in partnership with Deliveroo.

Under the trial, Aldi customers are able to order groceries on the Deliveroo app for same day delivery.

The news comes as online grocery shopping has seen a significant uplift as the result of coronavirus, and follows the brand’s extension of its click and collect trial announced last week - which will see click and collect services available in up to 200 additional stores by Christmas.

The supermarket commented: “We’re finding customers really value having more ways to shop at Aldi, particularly at the moment.”

The ShareSoc webinar could be interesting. I'd like to ask James Collins a few questions about their strategy on home deliveries. They need to get a grip of it now that its becoming a much larger % of revenues and likely to stay that way.

Nice to see these creeping up gently.

Atrazenica vaccine news:
but also Times reports take over rumours around Sainsburys bank

You know when someone has genuine breathing difficulties

because you can hear them struggling

and it affects the way they speak


Also someone with genuine breathing difficulties certainly would not be able to do a 8 or 10 hour shift in Sainsburys, on their feet for most of the day

As for people with asthma

The only time they would not be able to wear a mask is when they are actually having an asthma attack. In which case they would not be working. I have severe asthma sufferers in my family, so i know.

I regularly see managers in Sainsbury's on the shop floor with a mask around their neck. So why would the staff do anything else.

From what I have seen it looks like Sainsbury's really don't give a damn about high risk elderely shoppers.

supermarkets did not furlong their staff they paid ex/vanulable staff wages. imagine the headline government pay supermarket staff to furlong! imagine the panic oh no food!?

[tim 3] 18/11/2020 00:42

Agree sounds wrong them pocketing the money although you could argue in the interests of doing the best for shareholders, something they are often accused of not doing, they should.

[spob] 18/11/2020 00:10

Also there is the possibility of Sainsburys Bank being bought by Natwest/RBS group

Natwest has been majority owned by the governmemt since the financial crisis in 2008


It seems very odd to me that the government would possibly be buying Sainsburys bank


more monopoly money flying around ?

[spob] 17/11/2020 23:56

I remember Sainsbury's issuing a strange RNS at the time when this giveaway scheme was launched

Sounded like they couldn't believe their luck getting all that free dosh


£450 MILLION POUNDS !!


I guess when you are in government, it's all just monopoly money to play games with

Sainsbury's is in talks with more than one possible buyer after revealing some 'very preliminary expressions of interest' for its banking arm:


Sainsbury's said it had received a number of "very preliminary" enquiries - weeks after Sky News revealed the retail giant was exploring a sale of its banking arm despite public commitments to a five-year plan for the bank started last year.

"We have received some very preliminary expressions of interest in the bank, but this does not mean anything will come of these discussions."

Offloading the business, which has more than two million customers across a range of products including mortgages, home insurance and credit cards, is potentially attractive as returns are squeezed by ultra-low interest rates.

I've gone long Sainsburys again.
Good NAV value.
Christmas
Doing well in lockdowns.

Amazon have stores where you don't even need self check out or to scan the item.

Many of the major supermarkets are looking into this.

In a decade you may have the odd cashier for refunds/tobacco/lottery ect but most will disappear imo.

[farrugia] 16/11/2020 10:04

is it my impression or Sainsburys wants to move to self-checkout where people get in, use a mobile to trace codes and simply get out removing the cashier...

[rolo7] 15/11/2020 20:20

Is that why Mike coupe gone to work on track trace distribution then insider...

Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis alarmed by Sainsbury's deal - and urges them to change it

Sainsbury's has issued a double-up scheme for Nectar card users – but it’s only redemptions in-store in-store.

"It really shouldn’t need to be told this. Many people wait and hold on to their Nectar points to use them in the pre-Christmas period double-up.

“To force them to go to a store now, rather than spend in ease and safety via the web, is simply putting people’s health at risk for no reason.”

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson has apologised to customers after recognising many shoppers will not be able to redeem their vouchers in the way they would have liked this year.

"Many of our customers have told us they are relying on the savings it will give them and so after careful consideration we will continue to offer it.

“We understand that some of our customers may not be able to redeem their vouchers in the way they would have liked to this year and we’re sorry for the disappointment this may cause.

"Customers who have already redeemed their points for vouchers and are now required to shield can contact our customer services team, who will refund their points.”

God help their customers if Nat West takes them over took 4 hours to contact them this week when they blocked my card without even informing me!

[unastubbs] 13/11/2020 07:47

anyone have any thoughts on how much the bank is worth? there are plenty of names in the frame according to the original Sky report so hopefully there will be a bidding war for the asset...
